A port firm linked to a Cabinet Secretary nominee has dealt a major blow in its quest to operate a new grain bulk terminal at the port after the Supreme Court suspended its tender awarded by Kenya Ports Authority.

Judges led by Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu, Mohammed Ibrahim, Isaac Lenaola, William Ouko, and Smokin Wanjala issued orders barring Portside Freight Terminals Limited from developing a grain handling facility at the Port of Mombasa pending the determination of an appeal filed by Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah and Dock Workers Union.
